ACT MP and gun fetishist Nicole McKee will not rule out trying to re-introduce high-powered semi-automatic firearms as she pushes for a process that utterly removes any public interaction or influence via an order in council…
Firearms Minister won’t rule out trying to bring back banned guns
The firearms minister will not rule out trying to re-introduce high-powered semi-automatic firearms if she gets the power to do so.
…she is using an order in council to add or remove guns from being banned that completely sidesteps any public consultation at all to allow the sale of the sociopaths favourite faux machine gun getting sold in NZ again!
Nicole McKee has spent the week claiming Labour are lying about ACT removing the ban on these semiautomatic guns by arguing that because 300 pest controllers have access to these types of guns, there is technically no ban and ACT can’t lift a ban if the guns are already available to these pest controllers!
The sophistry of their bad faith argument makes you feel less confident about ACTs ultimate goals here.
This whole process is being rammed through with little focus on public safety and total focus on the arms industry gaining access to selling these guns again in NZ!
Who is Nicole Mckee working for? New Zealanders or the Gun Industry?
Who is Casey Costello working for? New Zealanders or the Tobacco Industry?
Who is Shane Jones working for? New Zealanders or the Fishing, gambling and mining Industries?
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Martyn – Those rifles should only be for collectors who satisfy very strict vetting from Police…and ongoing random checks
Why would collector’s want these type of guns anyway ?
It only takes one unstable person to lose their sanity for a short period, and we have another Christchurch Mosque Attack situation on our hands, ACT, Merkat Seymore and this Nicole McKee are “Nuttier than Squirrell Shit IMHO”.
Ngungukai – The engineering behind those rifles is interesting to Collectors…But, I agree one rogue collector/unstable person is a recipe for disaster.
Guns killing people daily and she wants to unleash more on the public .What sort of person wants to allow people to kill others and make it even easier .She is in the same basket as Simian Brown who wants more car and truck drivers to kill and maim more people .They are both plain fuck witts .
Sir Simeon wants those speed limits increased so we can increase production, how are we going on this one, I see the copper’s are still keen to ticket you if you are going 3 kph over the speed limit ???
Good for Goat Shooting and taking out Mobs Of Feral Deer.
only if you are a shit shot
Do we REALLY need these weapons here in NZ ???
I have an idea. As a condition of getting a gun license one must take an Ecstasy tab then sent to stand in a pen with a kid goat, a fawn, a piglet, a duckling and some day old chickens for a couple of hours. Then, once the sobbing, blubbering and cuddling’s subsided the gun nuts be directed to drop an LSD tab then be shown animals having been shot in the head.

Exactly. And how much are we paying them to be deceitful and greedy with us and can I ask, how about we criminalize lobbying and mandate voting?
Nicole McKee = NRA
What a right bunch of cringe worthy numbskulls, sellouts and vindictive bastards there are in the CoC.
Since the 1990 Aramoana massacre where 13 were shot dead by David Gray with a semi auto, NZ Police have called for severe restrictions on semis and a gun Registry to keep track of the nutters. Successive Parliaments were too gutless to implement until the Mosque massacre, and now Act want to turn the clock back. The results are not too hard to imagine…
My brother-in-law is a gun nut and member of a club. He wants a semi-automatic rifle so he can waste time and money putting holes in a paper target on a shooting range. He also wants a pistol to do the same.
When he told me about this I said I did not begrudge him a bit of harmless fun but I thought public safety was more important than one individual’s ‘right’ to anything.
He sneered and said, ‘What if the government prevented you from doing what you want on the grounds of public safety?’
He has a point there.
Successive administrations continue to deny me my desire to own Siberian tigers and import venomous snakes and I feel really aggrieved.
Who is Simian Brown working for?
New Zealanders or the petroleum industry?
We are, and have been letting the march, back to the Douglas, Pebble, de-Cleen , Cagill and Marshall, corporate wake up as they seem to preach. Time has progressed, with another clone party, in our Parliament house. How is that working for us, really very little, start back to !owning! all the ELECTRIC Production, of our Electric PRODUCTION WITHOUT PROFIT DRIVEN RETURN TO INVESTORS, as homes shiver and some freeze where our children old and infirm struggle starve, as they struggle to pay investor profits. Fuck inhumain investors as they count their profits, fuck them all, lets go back to our future, back to complete National as used to be control ownership of our power, where heat in winter was not a afford, but a afford care knowing.
Funny how this corrupt bunch are demanding a public referendum on the treaty at the same time as trying to shut down any scrutiny or public input into firearms legeslation. I suppose the likes of Bob the Fisted will think this is great but I think most sane people can see through their bullshit.
Great analogy and as I’ve always said it’s only free speech if Act and Seymour says it’s okay.
